Audi R8

Post by Tacoman2000 »

I started this build a few years back. I was out of the game for a couple years and just recently picked it back up again.

I actually plan on painting it a gloss graphite color. The same as the seats. It maybe a little hard to tell from the pics here, but I will post some pics in future updates.

I made the mistake of washing the body. Now I have water spots. I need to get some isopropyl or something to wipe it down now. :jd:
